Just as they have thrived in movies, DC and Marvel have also successfully imprinted their marks on television. Although X-Men is technically a part of Marvel, the rights to X-Men are owned by Fox whereas the rest of Marvel is under Disney.

Although it is behind compared to DC and Marvel, X-Men is beginning to make its mark on television with FX's "Legion," which tells the story of David Haller, the son of Professor X and Gabrielle Hunter. According to Comicbook.com, David is categorized as an Omega level mutant, making him one of the most powerful mutants in the entire universe.

In the series, David is diagnosed with schizophrenia; however, after an encounter with another patient, he realizes that the "voices he hears and the visions he sees" are not just mere hallucinations, and might in fact be real.

The vastness of the X-Men universe makes certain that there are mutants and storylines other than David Haller that are worthy of a series pilot order for television networks. Here are our picks.

The school

The primary core of the entire "X-Men" universe, from the books to the movies, is the Xavier School For Gifted Youngsters. Although in the more recent movies, the focus has been taking from the school and into missions set in overseas locations, the school still maintains a quiet charm - a place to call home at the end of every day of saving the world.

A series that would take place at the school will definitely work well with fans. They could take cues from the "X-Men: Evolution" animated series that aired in the 2000s. According to Movie Pilot, "X-Men: Evolution" followed the teenager version of the X-Men and showed their lives inside and outside the mansion. Aside from learning how to control and develop their powers, they also learned how to blend in with society and deal with issues that teenagers encounter on the daily.

Chamber

Jonothon Starsmore is another interesting mutant with interesting powers. He's a British import and he has a mysterious origin. He is unlike any mutant we've seen so far in the franchise - he doesn't need to eat, drink or breathe. It is his powers that sustain his life.

Sabretooth

Wolverine's arch-nemesis is largely portrayed as Magneto's henchman in the movies. In the comic books, Sabretooth and Magneto weren't the strongest of allies. Sabretooth is a rather aggressive and intelligent character. While he appears primarily as a villain, he has a rather noble beginning, having served in the CIA prior to working as a mercenary. Very little is shown about him in the movies, so it would be very interesting to see where all his anger and sadism is coming from.

Nova

Nova is an interesting mutant that is tied to other characters in the MCU. He has connections to the Kree and the Guardians of the Galaxy, and was once a Secret Avenger.
